The BMC TeamMachine SLR 01 of Team AG2R is one of the most refined and expensive professional racing bikes, but also very close to the production bike.
The chassis is the same, already on sale with the team colours.
The assembly includes the Campagnolo Super Record WIRELESS EPS groupset, with Campagnolo wheels, in carbon fiber, with high, low and medium profile, depending on the stages (the photo is from the archive).
The adoption of the Campagnolo Wireless groupset is the real novelty for the 2023 Tour de France.
The rest of the components are standard, such as the Fizik saddle.
Wahoo bike computer.
Present the Power2Max power meter.
Look Keo Blade Ceramic pedals.
Much attention is paid to correctly positioning each athlete in the saddle.
Another aspect is the control of each moving component, constantly reviewed and fine-tuned to be as smooth as possible.
Above all attention to the maximum smoothness of the wheel bearings, bottom bracket and perfect cleaning and lubrication of the chain.
The price of the bike is around 20,000 euros, with all accessories fitted.
It can go up further with other Campagnolo wheel models.
